Olivia and Peter

Olivia and Peter had their well child checks yesterday and are both doing great. At 5 weeks Peter is 8lbs 13.5 oz and is 21.5" long. Which means he has gained 2lbs and almost 7oz and has grown 1 and a half inches. He is eating and sleeping well. He sleeps from about 9-3 then 4-5or6. Last night he slept from 9-3:15 then 4-7:30. Yippee!
Olivia at 4 years weighs 35lbs 8oz and is 40 inches tall. She passed her hearing and vision screening with flying colors as well. She is adjusting to the new baby in the house and is doing well in school.

Stay tuned for recent pics including her Birthday party. Thanks to all those who made it possible.

Stay tuned for Peter's 6 weeks check up and Olivia's 4 year check up on Monday. Also for pictures from Olivia's party.

Peter- 1 month

Hello all. We are happy to report that we have all survived the first month. Peter is doing great and the rest of us are adjusting quite well. He has gainded a pound since birth and is eating and actually sleeping well.

Peter update

Well the lump on Peter's neck turned out to be a condition called torticollis. The lump is actually muscle and occurs when an infant frequently leans their neck to one side. This can occur in the womb or after. So, we have to have a spine xray to make sure there is nothing wrong with that. Then we have to see a physical therapist and will learn some exercises to help that muscle work itself out. Basically stretches.
We'll keep you posted.

Ok, so it's Wednesday

Well, we thought we had the sleep thing somewhat figured out. Maybe not. Any suggestions?

Peter had a swollen lymph node so I took him to the Dr. today and there are no signs of infections. So, we went and had a sonogram done. We will know the results tomorrow. The sonographer did not seem to alarmed though. So give prayers and think good thought. Hopefully it is nothing.

A DAY IN THE LIFE!

The sun will come out tomorrow

Yay, Peter slept a 3 hour and a 3 and half hour shift last night.

2 weeks

Hi all, just wanted to update everyone. At 2 weeks Peter now weighs 7 lbs 2 oz and is 20.25 in long. He is doing well, the rest of us are adjusting, and Mom is feeling better as well.
I think he is starting to be able to tell night from day. He is awake more during the day and slept 2 3hour shifts last night.
We will try to keep everyone as updated as possible, however, we do have our hands full. LOL!
